[Motorola Droid X2] DaveRichardson:
I grabbed ADW EX in the ten cent sale, but switched back to Go for two reasons:

1) Go Launcher solves a lot of the problems I have with having an app tray.* (It lets me hide junk icons from the app tray, make folders in the app tray, shows "new" badges on new apps, lets me add multiple apps to the homescreen at a time, lets me add multiple apps to a folder at a time, etc)

and,

2) ADW has some rough edges that bother me. The "edit" overlays when you're moving an app around on the homescreen look terrible, and the "edit" view when you're adding or removing homescreens look even worse! Granted, you're not doing these things all that often, but each time, the lack of polish is jarring. Takes me out of the "holy balls, this is Star Trek technology" experience that is a modern smartphone.

*I despise having an app tray. I don't understand its purpose at all. We can have as many homescreens as we would ever need (I only have three), and 16 folders to a page if we so desire. Why would I ever want to leave the homescreen environment (which neatly taxonimizes my 100 apps into eight "apps-by-type" folders) and enter an endlessly scrolling icon amalgam of 100 alphabetically listed apps?

I really hope someone takes the recently open-sourced Miui code and figures out how to install the launcher on any rom.
[Motorola Droid X2] Jubomime:
For the same reason you don't want to scroll the the app tray, I don't want to have to scroll thru 10 homescreens looking for an app. Personal taste I suppose ..
[Motorola Droid X2] DaveRichardson:
Three home screens, man! (One of which is a calendar widget.) It's much easier for me to download an app and throw it in the appropriate folder than to ever wade through an unsorted junk drawer.

The drawer adds an entire extra dimension to the desktop experience that we have to keep track of, yet it doesn't add any functionality to compensate for the complexity. Seems like Google added it simply so they could have something to point to as an iOS differentiator (as if being open, fully customizable, offering widget support, and the baller notification tray weren't enough).

But yes, as always, to each their own.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Most launchers allow the ability to create groups within app drawer (like stock blur launcher, adw , go launcher)..

I usually put most used apps in one group, games in another, settings/phone mod apps in another, etc...

I like having the ability to customize my app drawer :)
[Motorola Droid X2] wcsoccerboy828:
I just started using SPB Shell 3D upon seeing this. I can tell you, it is definitely worth the money. I think there is a trial available, but from what I heard, it crashes frequently. I haven't had a single problem with it yet and I doubt I'm going to turn back.
[Motorola Droid X2] BreatheALittle:
I really want to try it out, but I've heard it causes major lag. Are you noticing any delays, or even freezing up? For $15 I want to make sure my phone still has its CM7 speed.
[Motorola Droid X2] Jubomime:
There will be some lag here and there. It is basically a carousel of Widgets, so yeah. Dx2 handles it much better than my D1 did, however.
[Motorola Droid X2] smallzfsu:
Best reason I can give for me at least is the frequently used apps. Dialer, dolphin, camera, messaging. No matter where I land those are available to run. $0.03.
[Motorola Droid X2] DaveRichardson:
Did you think I was complaining about the dock? I love the dock--it's a total necessity. As you can see in the screenies I posted, my dock has all the same apps as yours (except I swapped camera for email).
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
For those on SPB have they UGed the app drawer to allow sort by install date? I use SE home for Qhd and It is the BOMB. Fast.
[Motorola Droid X2] xtel:
After being a long time LauncherPro user, I've downloaded Go Launcher and never looked back.
[Motorola Droid X2] smallzfsu:
Oop! I did and now I feel foolish!
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
I have had SPB and GO Launcher and then of course ADW. SPB is nice visually but it just seemed to lag a lot for me. I really liked GO and they have a suite of all kinds of apps like SMS, locker, etc that are available. All which are nice. But I have to say in the end that I prefer ADW maybe its just because its the first one I had way back when I had my original Droid.
[Motorola Droid X2] weldawadyathink:
You can long press the launcher you choose in titanium backup and click convert to system app. Then freeze or uninstall your old launcher.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
just a lil tidbit to add:

for those of you making apps a system app

YES it will survive a data wipe

but NO it wont survive a ROM flash,

flashing a rom formats and reloads a whole set of its own system apps and therefore your app u have made a system app will be gone until u download again...
[Motorola Droid X2] weldawadyathink:
You could download the miui rom and use a file manager to try to install miui launcher
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
im just curious bro

have you ever used wave launcher?

I freaking love it, takes away the need for app drawer for me

u can put up to 120 items on it INCLUDING widgets and access them from ANY screen..

I love it!

just thought u would enjoy it based on what u said there ;)

[HTC EVO 3D] secondskin:
Discaimer: I'm apologizing in advance of this seems like a stupid question or post.

I noticed that my search button partly illuminates when I first turn on my phone if it's completely off. Once the phone is fully booted and my home screen comes on all of the other buttons light up properly as well as the search button.

It just seems a little odd, but isn't causing any problems. Anyone else have this? I'm just hoping it's not a sign of potential hardware problems. (Yes I have insurance but enjoy full root with hboot 1.4)
[HTC EVO 3D] Bebida:
I don't know why it does it but same thing happens here mate. So hopefully its the same for all.
[HTC EVO 3D] Leukay:
Mine too. I was always kinda curious about whether it was common or not, but it never really bothered me too much
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
Yes, its normal. They should have got that fixed before finalizing this model.

[HTC EVO 3D] ducky1131:
Mine is the same way as well. It's a light leakage. If I use one of the kernels with dim LEDs, my buttons look like ass because of this. Most people can lower their value to 2 (in ..../button-backlight/currents), while I can only lower mine to 14 before it starts looking dumb.
[HTC EVO 3D] tailsthecat3:
Mine is most prominent when in recovery. Only time I notice it.
[HTC EVO 3D] secondskin:
Cool, thanks for all the replies. Happy to know it's common.

By the way it's nice to see some fellow Evo/Hero guys in here. I recognize Leukay and Tailsthecat from one of those 2 forums. Don't know you guys personally but nice to see you in here. Actually I think I recognize Rydah803 and Ducky1131 too so good to see you all here.
[HTC EVO 3D] evoguy404:

[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
I've noticed this too. It does make the phone look like crap when the LEDs are off.

It's light "bleed" from the screen to the search button. it most visible in recovery, probably because your screen is completely white and it's easy to see the white light bleed.

Kinda sad that HTC didn't fix this issue before releasing the phone.. Cheap internal build quality, perhaps?
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
I think it may be due to the fact that they used some sort of clear plastic to put together the inside. If you open the batterycover you can see what I'm talking about.
[HTC EVO 3D] meme405:
I got it too and my phone is a recently assembled device on one of the latest h boot builds. Doubt this will be fixed so i guess we live with it...
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
Same with me :( I thought only i have that issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] secondskin:
Seems like HTC did a bad job in this area. I also have hardware build 0002 so I guess it's an issue with that build.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] anup375@yahoo.com:
Hello,

I installed a custom ROM on my samsung infuse some months ago.

I wanted to install a new one and in the process, I bricked my phone.

I used ODIN3 v1.7 software to unbrick my phone but now I am not able to install the CWM recovery.

I tried following things:

1. Used ROM Manger app to install CWM recovery but no success. It does

not pass the SAMSUNG screen

2. Deleted the file /system/bin/recovery and then started the process but

no success. It does not pass the SAMSUNG screen

3. Copied the CWM recovery onto /sdcard and tried to install it but it

errors out with some permission issue.

Please let me know how do I fix this problem?

Then, I rooted my phone using SuperOneClick.

Then, using the ROM manager, I downloaded the CWM recovery.

While I was trying to install it, I got "Signature invalid" error.

Hence, I 3e modded my phone by deleting the recovery file /system/bin and copying the recovery file from the following location into /system/bin

I thought 2nd init was done and masta was working on aosp? I mean we can log from our new init.rc so it is using it. In the meantime i've been working on my barebones so we can get new blood using 2nd init and because I want a decent daily driver in the event we cant get stuff going.
[Motorola Droid X2] imchairmanm:
To echo what others have said, thank you very much for the information. This kind of transparency is always very much appreciated when there's some spare time to put that out there. It not only is really helpful to make it understandable, but it's nice to know that these projects are still active.

Perhaps most importantly though in the context of potential progress: having specific information is a great way for knowledgeable people reading to recognize if they might be able to help out in certain areas. You might get some fresh ideas from people who hadn't considered themselves familiar enough with the situation to be useful. Who knows.

Anyways, thank you very much again. It's very encouraging to hear progress reports in general, not to mention ones like this that involve so many successes.

[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
No need to appologize man... Stuff like this should have been posted or known. To be honest, I thought Masta was finishing 2nd INIT and starting to work on getting AOSP running and CWM was out the window, thats why I jumped in to try and get progress on CWM. Thanks DK and now I know the IRC is more active, I will be on there more to try and help out.
[Motorola Droid X2] ofishel:
Thank you!

Thanks a ton for all the effort you're putting in. When I got my DX2 I thought that despite the crazily over-bloated Motoblur, I would be OK due to the Tegra 2 power and wonderfully innovative developer community. I didn't count on their being such a small number of us out there for this device or the complexity that Moto would unnecessarily bake in. So, after many months of gut wrenching disappointment, I finally have hope again.

You are a true nerd hero, sir!

Does this mean that you might be able to get it working and unmount system as u need it to?

Or were there still other processes using system that you will need to mess with and change around as you did with the vendor ?

Do you still need to move the servicemanager also?

[Motorola Droid X2] dragonzkiller:
I know why you have a cm7 nightly "booting" and I'm sorry to say that it's not for good cause. What is happening is that the system isn't being formatted properly (hence a point in my post) and you're just flashing a bunch of new APKs from CyanogenMod on top of BLUR. I'm sorry to say, but it's not CyanogenMod.
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
I honestly think the way to go is to get back to that step with proper 2nd init and then replace everything blur with as much CM as possible
[Motorola Droid X2] dragonzkiller:
But that's not the right way to go. All that is is basically taking the BLUR base ROM and replacing the things with CM7's stuff. That's basically taking the stock rom and turning it into another blur-based ROM with CM7 apks. That's basically like Eclipse.
[Motorola Droid X2] aceoyame:
Let me rephrase that, add CM stuff and then remove Moto stuff. So get back to that, delete moto apk's and then edit init.rc for the framework. All those FC's we are getting if when were in that state are vital clues as to whats isn't playing nice with CM's apk's and framework. The fact it can even somewhat boot in a state like that means it's fairly close to how it wants. If it didn't wipe /system/ then it sounds like you just need to properly 2nd init that ***** and then in moto's init.rc remove moto jar's and apks's. Remember if it didn't wipe then you replaced the framework with CM and it's blur running ontop of it.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] virtusek:
Hello,

I am a gamer, and I am quite new to tablets.. and one of things that is bothering me - is there a possibility to use tablet as "remote touch screen".

I mean - lets say we start some game on PC - let the high-end pc hardware do all the rendering and stuff AND then compress it a bit in real-time AND stream it to tablet over WiFi -> so basically you have any PC app "running" on tablet...

(add to that some control conversion from touch to pc mouse-clicks - and most titles should be playable not-so-bad level)

Is something like this possible? Or maybe tegra3 is still not powerful enough to handle that? (or maybe its impossible to real-time compress 720p video to size that would go easy over wifi (20-30 mbit/s ?) ? - if I remember 720p video is present in some skype but I do not know how lag-free it is...)

Just wondering...

Thanks for answers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] busfullofBEARS:
Yes. Two things to look into. First, plain old VNC (google it), which has been around forever. The best android VNC client I've used so far is TeamView. Others may have other favorites.

Second, there is a service called OnLive strictly for remotely streaming games to various devices. They have (recently, I believe) released an android client.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Splashtop HD is the best for what you looking for. its built into the Prime. its in the Mycloud app. OnLive is a gaming server client on its own. you choose PC/console games they have on their server. which is alot. you can't set up your own thing with Oblige. Onlive is everything within itself. the streaming game play is great and virtually no lag. play games like PC Nvidia version of Batman Arkham city, Homefront, Metro 2033, Aliens vs. Predator FPS, New Quake, Darksiders, Street Fighter 4 n tons more.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] busfullofBEARS:
Does anyone that's used both have any thoughts on how Splashtop HD compares to Teamviewer? Is it worth the price tag (Teamviewer being free)?

TV is dead simple to use, but it would never confuse it with using my PC directly. If there is something faster and smoother I'm all for switching...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] programmer8922:
I don't have my prime in hand to check, but I believe it comes with Splashtop.

Edit: demandarin explained above...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
It does, as demandarin already explained above.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LondonGentleman:
You might also want to look into OnLive. They recently released an Android app for their game streaming service. Some games are modified to allow for touch screen control. You can use a game pad as well...

http://www.onlive.com/

Oops... OnLive already mentioned...ah well, I second the suggestion then!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
Prime comes with splashtop installed, but if your looking to play games that are streamed off of a PC you want OnLive.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unxconformed:
The Prime can handle the streaming part just fine. Splashtop has had the best results for me (best frame rate and picture quality).

There are three major issues you should know about though with Splashtop and your application assuming you are using either the dock or an external mouse and keyboard.

1st - You cannot play the games on you PC in full screen. I'm not sure if it is the same in all remote desktop programs, but there is apparently a difference in the way windows and directx handle the graphics when you have either windowed or full screen. Splashtop can't capture full screen and therefore can only play games in windowed mode.

2nd - Android does not have a right click. Even if you hook up a mouse, right click will be mapped to the back button. This sucks for games in a big way. Some of the RDP software I've seen have a trick for this to get right click, but I haven't had luck gaming with those.

3rd - Splashtop does not mouse track. What this means is that even though you see your mouse cursor moving around on you tablet screen (assuming you are using an external mouse), Splashtop only registers its location when you click on something. The effect is that games like first person shooters won't work properly since you can't look around with the mouse like you normally would. Again, other RPD software out there has this ability, but like before, they didn't work well for games for me.

I would love for this thing to work for playing PC games remotely, but at the moment it just isn't quite there. Splashtop updates frequently, so maybe in the near future they will implement things to fix the last two issues.
